One of the fake bears?

I'm sure the bears are imaginary in this. The night-time shots could have been filmed anywhere at any time and the breaking of twigs that make them panic in the night could be anything. There probably aren't any bears within a five mile radius, the production company wouldn't put them at risk like that. Such a scam. If anything they should have released extra bears into those woods before the contestants arrived.

Just finished Bodyguard, outstanding series. If you haven't seen it yet do yourself a favour.

Keeley Hawes was outstanding as the stuck up, fanatical, Tory.

Heartstopper season 2.

I complained loads about the first series because it was so twee and slow and unrealistic, the dialogue was gross and every other homo was being so OTT about it. But apparently I'm really enjoying this season. Maybe because I knew what I was in for, or maybe because the writing is better. I don't know.

I do know lots of the episodes have had me quite emotional, and for very the reason I rolled my eyes at others who gushed over first season - it depicts the sort of relationship I dreamed of having as a teen but that seemed so impossible (and it pretty much was at the time). It is still unrealistic though - they're meant to be 16 and they've not even touched willies. Come on. If I'd had the opportunity back then I'd be trouser diving on the hour.

Given how I'm enjoying this one, I almost feel bad about joking that this season was going to be 'darker' because they all contract monkeypox.

We Are Newcastle United.

Seems to be made just to stroke the business owners egos so far from what i've seen. Though that isn't much, they're drip-feeding the episodes - the 2nd has just dropped. I've played no more than a minute and the woman ego whateverhername has already appeared to talk some positive air-brained shite that only someone from the business world can splutter. I'm absolutely certain there's gonna be a lot more of her and the Saudi money guy to come.

This is everything i hate about the modern state of top league football - money, money, money.

The Office, series 9. I really struggle with this, it goes too zany. I've failed to finish this series every time i've started it. Seinfeld suffers the same in it's last season though not quite as bad. It's a shame because Catherine Tate comes into it someway in the 8th(?) series and i think is quite good in her role and would've been interesting if she had starred in earlier series.

Oh, and the way they're manufacturing the Pam & Jim work and family life struggles thing .... Lol, and i've just seen and now remember there's a drama with one of the camera crew and Pam - a near, 'will she won't she' have an affair type scenario.

Trigger Point

Made by the same people who did Bodyguard. About a bomb disposal team. Brilliant series.

Happy valley. It's quite good, but the way I heard people talking about it, I thought it would be even better than it is.

The tyson fury familly thing on netflix, a lot of his characteristics remind me of myself when I was younger makes me wonder if I would have been diagnosed as bipolar back then.

The Traitors Australia

I never watched the UK version so can't compare it. I sort of wish there was an option for the audience to work out who the traitors are too.

Anyway this shit is the shit.

^^ I've started the second series of the Australian Traitors this week and it's nowhere near as good as the first so far (which was almost as good as the UK one). In the first Australian version the showdown between the final two people is incredible!

The US one had some good moments, but probably isn't worth bothering with.

^ Oooh, thanks! I'll have to give the UK version a go. The only reason I never tried the UK version is Claudia Winkleman. I don't hate her or anything like that, but I just assumed whatever she does will be bad because Strictly Come Dancing is bad.

The Suspect
Irvine Welsh's Crime

Enjoyed both

Also Wolf - the first two creeped me out, but then it got kinda humourous.

^Haha, yeah I thought I didn't want to watch any more, but then I kept wondering what had happened and so in the end I went back and watched the rest. The mood after the first two was a lot lighter

Seasons 2 & 3 are the peak and always watchable. You gotta be a big big fan to go all the way to the end. It loses so much spark.
